Appropriated Appellation	comment	When a person (often a superhero, villain or more grounded criminal) takes his name from a nickname, an insult, or a botched pronunciation, spoken or spread in print by someone else. In real life, this could extend to criminals who adopt the moniker given them in the press. A subversion could be a criminal corresponding with the press to "correct" the error like Son of Sam or Jack the Ripper. Can be a form of Insult Backfire when the name was meant to be derogatory. Arguably a form of in-universe Ascended Fanon. Compare: Line-of-Sight Name, Namedar, Title Drop, Ascended Meme, and the real concept of Reappropriation. Compare and contrast Named by Democracy where someone is often forced to accept the name others use instead of willfully adopting it, possibly even lacking the ability to appropriate or protest the name. When a whole group of people does this it's N-Word Privileges.

Appropriated Appellation / int_11b7db91	comment	Adventure Time: In the Season 2 episode "Susan Strong", the eponymous character unwittingly names herself when Finn asks her what her name is, and she's still struggling with the word "Sun": "Suh... Sun." During the events of the "Islands" miniseries, she regains her memories of her life before coming to Ooo, including her real name, "Kara." She ultimately decides to keep her name as "Susan." Princess Bubblegum's royal status is later revealed to have stemmed from a condescending nickname that she got from her uncle Gumbald.

Appropriated Appellation / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age: Anders, who is first introduced in Dragon Age: Origins â€“ Awakening, refused to speak when he was initially brought to the Circle as a child. Not knowing his true name, other apprentices started to call him "the Ander" because of his Anders heritage. This became the only name he later uses. In Dragon Age II, many residents of Kirkwall use "Dog Lord" as a slur against refugees from Ferelden, a reference to Fereldan culture's deep-seated love of Mabari hounds. In Act II, Hawke encounters a Fereldan expat street gang called the Dog Lords. (Incidentally, the Dog Lords are probably the toughest of the gangs encountered in Act II...because they're backed up by Mabari.) During Mask of the Assassin, after Hawke asks Varric why they never got a nickname, depending on their personality, he suggests "Waffles" and "Killer" for paragon Hawke and renegade Hawke. Snarky!Hawke on the other hand, admits to genuinely liking "Chuckles". The Trespasser DLC in Dragon Age: Inquisition reveals that Solas's true name actually is Solas. Fen'Harel was an insult used by his enemies, and he took up the name as a badge of pride.

In this series, Cringer is not a Lovable Coward, but a wise Team Dad and Technical Pacifist. He was given the name Cringer by Evil Poacher R'Qazz because of how he could intimidate the cat and because he wouldn't fight in his Beastly Bloodsports. When R'Qazz meets Cringer again, he wonders why Cringer kept the demeaning name. Duncan is a variation; he gets his name from a title his enemy boasted of having. When his former mentor Kronis boasted of being the former Man-At-Arms for Eternos, Duncan declares himself Man-At-Arms for Castle Greyskull shortly before beating him.

After a while, this group started to proudly call themselves boomers, making memes in which boomers show their dominance over "zoomers" AKA Generation Z, and one game on Steam even calls itself "boomercore" for using the Doom engine and being inspired by it and other 90s FPSs. Other "-oomer" appellations such as "doomer"note initially referring to outwardly depressed individuals perceived as bordering on wangsty before being used as an umbrella term for anything dark and/or cynical and "coomer"note initially referring to people addicted to pornography or sexual stimulation before being applied to anyone who even so much hinted at being sexually expressive came to be adopted by the exact people they were intended to mock, leading to such things as the creation of "doomer" playlists centered around dark and depressing music and the use of the "coomer" character as a PFP by individuals who "fail" No Nut November (an increasingly popular online challenge, spawned from No Fap September, in which participants attempt to abstain from masturbating for the entirety of the month of November). "Coomer", however, is still a bit of an indecisive case in that, while it has been appropriated by sexually expressive individuals seeking to make fun of the label's neopuritan background (having originally been created by far-right 4chan users attempting to label sexual expression as "degenerate"), it still sees more negative reception in other areas of the internet where people spam it unironically.

Also, when Blonsky is forcing Sterns to give him Hulk powers, Sterns warns him that the combination of the Super Serum and Gamma Radiation might result in "An Abomination". Both of these are straight out of the comics. In Iron Man 2, when Rhodey puts on the earlier suit and gets into a brawl with Tony, Tony asks him, "You wanna be the War Machine?" Rhodey grows to like it, even after his Pentagon backers rechristen him as Iron Patriot in Iron Man 3. In Captain America: The First Avenger, the name "Captain America" was given to Steve during the USO tours, but he would use that name during his first military mission. The soldiers he rescued would also use that name without any sarcasm. And by the time he is an Avenger, he's still referred to as "Captain" (to the point some call him "Captain Rogers"). Given he uses this to pull rank early on, it seems that they actually made him an Army Captain even though he was mainly an entertainer at first. Guardians of the Galaxy (2014): During the final battle, the main villain of the film, Ronan the Accuser, sarcastically refers to the main characters as the "Guardians of the Galaxy" after their initial attempts to stop him have failed. When they finally turn the tables on him, they accept the moniker with pride. Avengers: Age of Ultron: Vision starts off as an intended new body for Ultron. When he's brought to life independently by the Avengers, Thor makes reference to "having had a vision", and for want of anything else to call him this becomes his name. Spider-Man: Far From Home: Quentin Beck is referred to in an Italian news broadcast as "l'uomo di mistero" (literally "the man of mystery"), and Peter's classmates coin the name "Mysterio" from a mishearing of the term. Peter later relays the name to Beck, and he decides to adopt it as his official moniker. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings downplays this with Xu Wenwu, who doesn't actually go by "The Mandarin" in the way that Trevor Slattery did while briefly appropriating his and the Ten Rings' identity. However, he is rather amused by it, if only because "a pretender named after an orange" was able to strike genuine fear in the U.S. government, so he does at least consider it one of the many names he's gone by in his very long lifetime. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever: Namor explains to Shuri that, when he killed the Spanish settlers as a child, a dying priest called him "niÃ±o sin amor", "child without love". He liked the way Namor sounded, and took it as his name.

Appropriated Appellation / int_87f2d9f8	comment	Mass Effect: The first example ever used in Mass Effect? Your helmsman, Jeff 'Joker' Moreau. He got the nickname in flight school for his habit of never smiling (he suffers from Osteogenesis imperfecta, which probably didn't help). He adopted the nickname after graduating, and now everyone apart from EDI (until the latter end of Mass Effect 3) and Dr Chakwas (who knows him well enough/is professional enough to stick to his real first name) uses the nickname when talking to or about him. One would think a 'morose' joke would have been too intelligent, given he becomes a wonderful barrel of snark and incidental humour. The term Reapers was originally bestowed by the Protheans, since they never learned the true name of their enemy. Notably, the Reapers never actually refer to themselves as Reapers. Harbinger occasionally uses the phrase "that which you know as 'Reapers'" to refer to their race, but this phrasing still makes it clear he doesn't consider the name valid. The Catalyst, controller and creator of the Reapers, does use the term, probably simply out of convenience, using terms that Shepard will understand. The Illusive Man in Mass Effect 2. He derives his name from a vitriolic response from an Alliance official to his anti-alien manifesto ("survivalist rhetoric written by an illusive man"). The version of Illusive he uses means deceptive. It also sounds like Elusive, which might be the point, or not. Legion also has an Appropriated Appellation, given to him by EDI. Not scorn per se, but "EDI" stands for Enhanced Defense Intelligence, simply a label of her function. As EDI's character developed, it just sorta... become her name. Partial example: when Tali gets tried for treason during her loyalty mission, the Admiralty Board legally has her ship name changed to "vas Normandy," believing that being associated with a human ship (and having a human captain represent her instead of a quarian) would hurt her chances of avoiding exile. Whether it works, backfires, or leads in an unexpected direction is up to the player. Later on, if you earn Tali's loyalty, she lets the name stick. In the second game, Legion explains that "Sovereign" was just a title used by Saren. When it communicated with the Geth, the millions of programs that comprised the Reaper instead referred to themself as "Nazara". Though, when Shepard talks to the Reaper itself, it explicitly refers to itself as Sovereign. So Legion is either lying, or it uses different names for different groups, or it's a continuity error, or Nazara simply liked the name and took it for itself.

Swanwick gives him a "that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard" look. By Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Superman is his acknowledged superhero name. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice generally avoids using "Batman" directly as a name, instead suggesting he has multiple names given by the press, from the bat, to the Gotham Bat to The Bat-Man. This is rather appropriate, as in this setting Batman is not so much of an individual but a myth, an urban legend. By Justice League and Zack Snyder's Justice League, most of the names of the heroes are taken from the Lex Corp metahuman files seen in BvS.

By the time of the sequel Stirred, the only person who still calls her Mimira is Van.

The term was originally meant as an insult by his Arch-Enemy, Galerion, but was adopted by Mannimarco with pride. (As a result of the Warp in the West, he sort of ascends to godhood, and is known as the "God of Worms".) The Renrijra Krin, a quasi-legal nationalist faction of Khajiit introduced in Oblivion. The name translates as something like 'Mercenary's Grin', 'Laugh of the Landless' or 'Smiling Scum', and was first applied to them by their enemies, but it amused them enough for them to make it their own. The Stormcloak faction in Skyrim was derisively referred to as such for following Ulfric Stormcloak's beliefs. They took that name in pride. Nords, as a race, take titles in lieu of surnames. Many of them aren't complimentary and are presumably examples of this trope. Some examples: Halfhand, the Braggart, the Mumbling, God-Hater, the Contemptible, the Ugly, the Worm.

But the reality was that Zoro needed their bounty money to pay for food and to repair his swords. Also, this could have easily been the epithet for any other bounty hunter. Now that he's one of the most wanted pirates in the world, he's STILL called "Pirate Hunter Zoro", which doesn't really make sense considering he's, well, a pirate. Unless you consider that plenty of the people's he's fought have been other pirates. It's only been in his more recent incidents where he's attacked the government.

The word for "a Hebrew" in Hebrew is Ivri, and one of the first times this word appears in the The Bible is when the Pharaoh's wine steward is telling the Pharaoh about this boy Joseph that can interpret dreams. He's concerned that Pharaoh might raise him too highly, so he calls him a "na'ar eved ivri" — a boy, a slave, and an "ivri", which means a descendant of Eber, but in this case is used in the context of "across", as in "across the border", as in "foreigner". The intended insult would become one of the common names for the Israelites.

Appropriated Appellation / int_d2f1ada4	comment	In My Clueless First Friend: Nishimura is called a Shinigami (or Grim Reaper in the translations) by her classmates, and the name is definitely meant to be insulting, but the name seems to bother her less than the general ostracism that accompanies it. However, once the eponymous first friend, Takada, decides that that nickname is extremely cool and keeps using it, it starts to grow on Nishimura specifically when he uses it, to the point that when he offers to stop, she asks him to continue calling her that. Downplayed in that even after this, Nishimura does not especially like being called a Shinigami by her other classmates, although her attitude shifts from dejection to indifference.
